Instead of going out with a "bang," at the helm of his government and with a big funeral, he'll linger for months on support half-forgotten.

My son's neurologist is from Israel and has some connections to his counterparts there. He told me that there is lots of blame to go around, especially with the doctors that treated him for the first stroke. Evidently, the doctors gave him too much blood thinner without adequate monitoring and then failed to get him to the nearest hospital when he had the hemorrhage. They opted to send him straight to Hadassah Hospital, which is on par with Johns Hopkins, rather than try to stabilize him at a local facility first.
